Volume 19 Chapter 217 The Terrible Swamp

In fact, the most dangerous thing in a swarm is not the queen and male insects, but the soldiers. The strength of the insects lies in their number rather than the strength of the single body. Although the level of these male insects is as high as level 500, which is one and a half times higher than that of the soldiers, because they have no numerical advantage, the threat of male insects to us is not as powerful as that of the soldiers before.

Compared with male insects, the five insects are actually better solved. These insects, which are slightly smaller than the male insects and have a huge genital sac behind them, are monsters of level 600, which are slightly stronger than male insects, but their number is only five, which is smaller in comparison.

After I chased the demon pets and I killed the remaining male insects in two or three hours. The insects seemed to be spell attack creatures, with poor movement ability and many of the attacking organs on them degenerated. We were unable to support them after we got close to each other, and the remaining four insects were captured alive. Considering that the task was not so many, we killed two of the captured insects and left only two to hand over the task.

Pack all the bugs you caught and throw them into the gate of the earth, and then we start to go back on the road. With previous experience, we are now becoming more and more adept at searching for various small bugs.

Most of the bugs that the Gun God asked me to collect in the scrolls I had given to me were not powerful bugs. The real difficulty in the mission was the other bugs that lived with those bugs, not the target bugs themselves. Because I didn't know, I took a large group of demon pets to show off, and I always scared away those little bugs without combat power in advance. Now, as I gradually mastered the rules, I have also begun to gradually reduce the amount of demon pets carried, and only summoned them to help when needed, and try to act alone. Although using this method will be easier to be attacked by hidden single bugs, it is because I

The reaction was very fast, so even if I was attacked by a sneak attack, I would not be caught every time. Even if I was attacked successfully, my defense would not be too dangerous. Compared to the trouble caused by not taking magic pets, I have a greater advantage in finding the mission target. Because I am a solo operation, I will generally not disturb the target insects, which greatly increases the probability of discovering those insects. As a result, I collected almost all the insects mentioned in the mission in the task in the short time. Of course, the price I paid for was to be dragged into the insect hole twice, caught onto the tree three times, and be knocked down by the insects more than a dozen times.

Seven hours later, when Lucky and Plague worked together to force a red super fat worm into the special container tube that came with the mission reel, I finally put away the third last reel with satisfaction.

"It seems that our speed is pretty good." After watching the container that was put into the bug, I finally saw the dawn of victory. Most people are tired of doing one task at a time. I brought thirty-three task scrolls at a time, and I had already completed thirty-one in just over seven hours. This speed is the capital of pride. Of course, the reason why I completed the task so fast is to some extent thanks to too many bugs here. I hardly need to find it, and I can see piles of bugs moving around. But then again, if this task is not completed, I probably might suffer from anorexia in the future, and even with my thick nerves, I will be vomited by the bugs.

Putting away the third last scroll, I turned out the last two scrolls that I hadn't completed. The remaining two scrolls were exploration tasks at special locations. One of them was to find an abandoned laboratory and bring back the research notes of the lab owner. It seems to be difficult, but based on my experience in doing tasks, the more simple the task, the higher the risk.

The remaining scroll is also an exploration task, but it is not about finding a laboratory, but digging a tomb. But then again, if you put the tomb in the insect nest, the owner of the tomb is definitely having a problem with his head. It is better to tell his relatives and friends directly to cut himself into the ant nest when he dies. Isn’t it like burying himself in this worm valley to feed the insect? The mechanism secretly says that it’s okay to block the tomb robbers. I haven’t seen the tomb that can block the insects yet. You should know that the insects in the game are not afraid of lime powder or mothballs.

Although the remaining two scrolls were looking for relics or something, the denseness of the plants in this Worm Valley was definitely more exaggerated than any other leveling area. Don’t say I don’t know where those two locations are, even if I know, if I don’t cut down all the plants around, I may not be able to find the building even if I pass by the gate.

After thinking for a long time, I decided to send Rose Vine and Trailblazers to help me find it directly under the ground. The plants on the ground are too dense, so it is not as easy as finding them from the ground. The cemeteries and laboratories in the game should be relatively large underground buildings, and I believe they will not be too complicated to find.

In order to avoid being entangled in advanced insect swarms and being unable to escape, I kept wandering around the periphery of the Valley of the Insects. The facts also prove that most mission scrolls can be completed on the periphery. Most of the insects have no concept of territory and like to jump around everywhere without any trouble. Therefore, some insect species in the core area can generally be seen on the periphery, but the population is smaller. However, I have been wandering around for so long and can't find the two ruins, so I have to start moving to the core area.

To be honest, if I can't come in, I really don't want to enter the core area. The periphery of the Valley of the Insect is just a tropical rainforest. Although there are a little more vines and thorny plants, it's a bit difficult to walk. But I'm wearing a full set of armor, so I'm not afraid of these thorny things scratching me, nor do I have to worry about being stung by insects, so the periphery area has a small impact on me. However, once I enter the core area, the environment is different.

Unlike the periphery, the core area of ​​the Valley of the Insect does not have the kind of big trees covering the sky and the sun. There are also trees here, but they are not tall, and the root system is super developed. You can often see a large area of ​​trees that are less than ten meters high growing in the middle of the roots exposed on the ground. Don’t think that a tree worth ten meters is very big. In reality, trees worth ten meters high are indeed quite large, but in the game, the foundation height of trees starts from ten meters upwards. Trees below ten meters can generally be seen in cities, because those are artificial landscape trees and the height is well designed.

In addition to these strange trees growing east and west, the rest of the core area is basically covered with various messy shrubs, but these shrubs are also messy, like alopecia areata. Some places are tall enough to be waist-deep, while others are only at the feet, not as tall as ordinary grass. Of course, the main reason why I don't like this is not these weird shrubs, and of course not those trees, but...

"I hate the swamp!" I tried hard to pull one leg out of the mud, and then waved my hand to cut off a nauseous bug that was like a large leech. After I shook off the mud on my legs, I began to move forward again, but I would definitely be hit again if I walked less than ten steps.

As I had previously speculated, there are a large number of abundant water sources in the core area of ​​the Valley of the Insects. The only difference from what I imagined is that these water sources do not appear in the form of lakes, but in the form of large swamps. There are obviously crust cracks under this large swamp. The geothermal heat seeping out of the cracks heats the entire swamp into a large or small hot mud pool. However, the temperature of these mud pits is not exactly the same. Most of them are maintained between thirty-five and forty-five degrees. The colder ones can reach thirty degrees, while some are simply boiling water pots. The surface part is always boiling, making white smoke rolling like a chimney.

In the past, I thought no one came to the Valley of the Worm mainly because the bugs here are disgusting, but now I know that bugs are just one reason why they are not popular here, and the humid and hot environment is the second main reason. The biggest difference between virtual reality games like Zero and the games that used to play in front of the computer is that they can use all the senses of the human body to create a game environment, which of course also includes the feeling of temperature and humidity. If you are sitting in front of the computer, you use the mouse to direct the game characters to shuttle through the desert, and the swamp

During this period, what you can feel is that the speed of the characters is slowing down due to the terrain. But in virtual reality games, it is like feeling hot and tide-like. The feeling of the clothes on the whole body sticking to the body is definitely more unbearable than monsters. I now understand that the biggest advantage of my Dragon Set is not its high defense, but its comfort. To be honest, it is waterproof, heat-insulating, pressure-resistant, corrosion-resistant and has a constant temperature system like the Dragon Set. There are not many pieces in the whole game.

With the powerful protection ability of the Dragon suit, I walked in the swamp for more than half an hour. However, all my two goals have not been found so far. Moreover, because the environment here is different from what I had expected before, I had a little intention to return. I thought the core area was also a tropical rainforest environment like the outer periphery, and at most it was a little denser. Now that I found that this is a swamp, I felt that the two buildings might still be on the outer periphery, but I had ignored it before. After all, whether it is a laboratory or a tomb, it is not a good idea to repair it in the swamp.

The laboratory needs to be sealed and moisture-proof, and the tomb is completely built underground. These two things seem to be suitable for humid environments like swamps, so I think it is more likely that the two buildings are still on the periphery. However, just when I was about to give up searching and turn to the periphery to continue searching, a stone building above the ground suddenly appeared in my sight.

"Damn, which idiot built a laboratory? It's actually built in the swamp! All gods and Buddhas will bless that laptop, don't rot!"
